While I will always be a Demons supporter through and through, I have watched more non-MFC games this season than I ever have before. I've come to enjoy watching many non-Demon players and marvel at their skills. Who is your favourite non-MFC player to watch? Are there any names you can think of that should be added to the list? Why do you like watching these players?

it's to depressing watching 2 sides play well at the moment...i prefer to watch movies inbetween Demons Thrashings at present.

It's hard not to be impressed by Gary Ablett. We knew he was good at Geelong, but after his move to the Suns, without the supporting cast he had at the Cats, I think he's shown how great he really is.

Luke Hudge is another I like to watch, although he hasn't been out on the park much this season.

 

Most definitely Ablett. In awe of his ability to win the ball and accelerate out of trouble. Gut runs as well.

Pendlebury also makes things look very easy while agree with someone above and enjoy the way Hodge goes about it.

Franklin of the current players. Too fast, too tall, too strong and too freaky for any one player.

Ablett Snr and Carey of the older set.

Also saw the tail end of Hudson. Was unstoppable

 

Pendles and he is exactly what we need, shame he signed earlier this year... Don't know why but I had some hope we were going to throw massive cash at him and maybe snare him, both our on field and off field dramas think quashed this pretty quickly

Bartel & Hodge for mine. Love watching Ablett, Franklin & Rioli's freakish skills, but love the hardness of Bartel & Hodge and their abilties to just get the job done when it matters. I'm hoping Trengove is another player in their mould.

I'm with you, especially Luke Hodge - monstrous competitive spirit. No quarter asked, none given.

Bartel for me, tough, takes good grabs and kicks goals

Also like watching Judd and Ablett

Dont rate Pendles as much as most

I must admit wyl I am similar.

However I have signed on mentally as a Hawks follower.

I might even squeeze in a live game in the next few weeks

Not sure if they are playing on our bye weekend but that might be it

PS just checked they play the Lions on our week off that will be a slaughter so maybe not

Patrick Dangerfield.

And we could have had him with pick #4 2007. :unsure:

We would have probably turned him into a dud by now

Hayes, Ablett, Hodge for mine.

In terms of skill when Buddy is on fire he is incredibly exciting. Reminds me of what Ablett Snr. and Carey used to do in terms of becoming the sole focus of a game.

For endeavor I love Ablett Jnr, Bartel, and this year Lenny Hayes.

I also love to see the mature aged recruits do well. It's good for the game and flies in the face of some of the over thinking that goes into player development. Some blokes just have the desire. Pods, Tory Dixon, our very own Mitsubishi.

After watching the game tonight, I had to put Stevie J in. I should have done so earlier but completely forgot about him for some reason.

By popular demand, Luke Hodge's name has been added.

Judd

Goodes

Black

Paul Chapman. Tough, uncompromising and brilliant. Love to have him in our side. Goal sense is fantastic. Ablett and Judd also great to watch.

P.S. Just read that Chapman played with Melbourne reserves before he was drafted in 1999. A big fish who got away. We had him and let him go.

No love for Patty D?

Ablett is probably the best foodballer ever?

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
